Marinated prawn fajitas

There is nothing completely like the shrimp shirt that affects a steaming cast iron pan, the citrus aroma of lime and garlic that fills the air. These fajitas of sideways are my reference recipe when I want to serve something bold, tasty and easy to put together.

Succulent jumbo shrimp immersed themselves in a luminous marinade of lime and garlic before being thrown into a screaming hot pan next to vibrant peppers and onions. The result? Tender and perfectly spicy prawns with slightly charred and crunchy vegetables that offer an irresistible combination of flavors and plots.

Whether you are hosting an informal dinner on Friday evening or are looking for a pleasant option for the crowd for your next meeting in the courtyard, these fajitas are guaranteed to bring all the second back back. Even children, who can sometimes be fussy on the seafood, clean their dishes when these fajitas are on the menu.

The best prawns for the Fajitas

When it comes to creating the Fajitas of perfect prawns, the dimensions are really important. I recommend using 21/25 jumbo shrimp For this recipe because they are substantial enough to resist a high heat without cooking too much. These bigger prawns also keep their own against the bold flavors of the marinade and provide that satisfactory bite that makes each fajita so delicious.

If you are using frozen prawns (which I do often), be sure to defrost them completely before marinating. The best way is to make them defrost during the night in the refrigerator, but if you have little time, you can perform them under cold water for several minutes. The correctly defrosted shrimp will absorb the marinade more effectively and will cook evenly, so make sure yours is defrosted.

How long to marinate the prawns

Market is the key to the construction of flavor, but timing is everything. 30-60 minutes is the weak point for shrimp to absorb all the great flavors without starting to cook in the acid lime juice.

Less than 30 minutes? You will still have some flavor, but not a lot of penetration. More than an hour? The acid can begin to break down too much shrimp proteins, leading to a soft consistency.

If you are in a hurry, even 15 minutes will add a little flavor, but aim for that 30 -minute sign for the best results.
